Yes, it will probably work like liquor - kids under 21 will scheme to get it from older "kids", or just plain strangers. "From an unrelated adult" is the most common way according to the below, by far (28%).

MJ isn’t chemically addictive, far less so than even caffeine and alcohol. Heroin is far more addictive, even on the first dose. Plus the levels of damage to ones bottle aren’t even comparable.
I’ll bite. Why is CO in big trouble?
Some strains can grow bigger than Christmas trees.
That's a lot of weed...
What’s CO’s budget? Oregon can blow through that in no time and ask for more with a straight face.
I do support the 10th amendment. And you are helping make my overall point. You are saying that the 10th amendment considerations should override all other considerations. Others have differing opinions as to the criteria they think should override all others.

And you think there is legitimacy in a position that supports fedgov overriding the Constitution?
I’m not taking any position on marijuana legalization. I’m just making observations about the discussion.
I'll hang up and take your answer off the air.
I sleep about 3-4 hours a night. I've tried a number of sleep aides and nothing works and some cause hallucinations. Marijuana edibles help me sleep at least 8 hours and they lower blood pressure and stress considerably.
I don't have a problem legalizing marijuana, or at least letting people grow their own so they can reap the medical benefits. Not everybody who wants to legalize marijuana wants to smoke it all day as there are far better consumption methods with excellent medical benefits.
I don’t know, but the pro-legalizers put out a study in 2012 that projected tax revenues of $100M annually by 2017. It was panned by their opponents as being wildly optimistic.
Fair enough, but who do you think should decide intrastate mj policies, state or federal?

Given the rather brain dead, amoral children that our schools are purposefully grinding out by the millions these days ............. as a 70 year old guy who smoked a good bit of marijuana in a responsible way back in the mid-70's, and since then has had a fine and productive life in that context, I say marijuana legalization THESE days may not be such a great idea. Bummer
This society presently is a large steaming stench-ridden turd. And these young people today generally have little to no base to keep them steady and solid in any way.

It’s not worth a full word, admit it.
Touche.
Don’t forget to tell ‘em to get off your lawn.

Agreed I can’t use it because of where I work so doesn’t matter to me, but it’s no worse than alcohol afaik
Legalize it. Alcohol is waaaaayy more dangerous than marijuana and it’s not even close. Besides I’d rather someone smoke pot than get addicted to the growing killer of opioids that are often times prescribed legally.
I’m trying to find the constitutional authority for the federal government to regulate something that i can grow in my own backyard, and use in my own house without anyone else being involved.
So since we’re a nation of laws, and not opinions, lets set our opinions aside and look at the Constitution. Where do you see this authority given?
Trans-fats and HFCS do more to wreck the health of the country than cannabis ever could - let’s outlaw them.
